You must pay us interest together with the overdue amount.

7.5 Without limiting any other remedies or rights that we may have, if you do not pay us on time, we may cancel or suspend our performance of the Services or any other outstanding Order until you have paid the outstanding amounts.

7.6 Reservation Deposit. A Reservation Deposit is payable on reservation of a given property. The amount will be given at the time of marketing launch. In the event that for any reason you do not proceed through to exchange any Reservation Deposit paid will be non-refundable. In the case where the developer pulls the deal prior to exchange you may receive the Reservation Deposit paid although this cannot be guaranteed, however in this case YPC will credit your YPC account with the amount of Reservation Fee paid.

In some cases we may ask you to pay the Reservation Deposit directly to the developer.

7.7 Agency Fees. We may charge you an Agents fee. In consideration of the Agents fee we undertake to source a property and to support you throughout the process of buying and holding your property. Agents Fees are non-refundable should the property fail to exchange or complete, regardless of the reason. However, we will apply a credit to your YPC account equivalent to the Agents fee paid. Should you choose to pull out of the purchase of a property after any cooling off periods, Agents fees will not be refunded.

7.8 Credit for costs incurred by you if a sale falls through or otherwise does not proceed.

When a deal falls through or otherwise does not proceed through to legal exchange and where you have not pulled out or otherwise jeopardised the deal, YPC will apply a credit to your YPC Credit Account equivalent to the direct costs you incurred. This credit is limited to £3000 and will only cover direct out of pocket costs such as Valuation fees, Mortgage Application fees, Reservation Fees, Snagging Fees, and Solicitors Abortive fees.

Credits do not attract any interest.

7.9 YPC Credit Account. Where a credit has been applied to your account you may use this credit towards the property finders fees on another property bought through YPC. Credits may be held on account indefinitely. Credits have no cash value. You may request the balance of your YPC credit account via email to info@ypc-group.com at any time.

7.10 Transfer of YPC credits held on Account to Ezytrac Property Management Ltd. You may request, at our sole discretion, to transfer credits held on account to Ezytrac Property Management for use towards management fees on a property that is managed by Ezytrac Property Management.

You will receive a confirmation that the transfer has taken place.

7.11 Introducer fees, Agency fees and Commissions. You agree we may in addition to Agents fees receive introducer fees, referral fees, and / or commissions. This can include fees from developers and other third parties.

7.12 Allocation of monies received. All money received will be allocated to any Reservation Deposits owed, followed by Agents Fees owed followed by expenses owed.

Any excess monies paid may either be refunded, if requested within 14 days, or credits will be applied to your YPC account. These excess credits may, at our discretion, be transferred to Ezytrac Property Management fees.

7.13 What happens when a deal falls over, is pulled or otherwise doesn’t proceed…

Where the developer pulls the deal — A credit will be applied to your YPC Account equivalent to the finders fees paid and your direct costs up to a maximum of £3000.

Where we pull the deal — We will not normally pull a deal unless we consider it has become unreasonable to expect a client to proceed with the deal, in this case a credit will be applied to your YPC Account equivalent to the finders fees paid and your direct costs up to a maximum of £3000.

Where you pull out of a deal after paying fees but before exchange — You have a 7 day cooling off period from the point of Reservation, after which point you will lose your fees.

Where you are unable for whatever reason to complete on the property after exchange has taken place — you will not receive any fees back under any circumstances.

7.14 What happens if you cannot get a mortgage and are unable to complete?

Within 14 days of reservation and before exchange — Where you are purchasing a stock property you will be covered by our 5 Property Guarantees and therefore you will be refunded any of the fees that you have paid on a stock property as detailed in those guarantees as long as you have not provided misinformation or jeopardised the deal in any way in which case all fees will NOT be refunded under any circumstances. Where a refund is due you may choose to apply a credit to your YPC Account equivalent to the Finders Fees paid.

After 14 days and before exchange — You will receive a credit to your YPC Account equivalent to the Agents Fees paid.

After exchange and before completion — you will not receive back any of your fees and you are still legally bound to complete. If you find yourself in this situation you should consult competent authority as soon as possible.

7.15 What happens if my property goes down in value?

Before Exchange/Completion — We may be able to renegotiate the price that you will pay for the property. If we cannot then you have the choice of proceeding at the lower value or pulling out and choosing another property.

After Exchange — You will normally be required to complete on the property at the price negotiated and that is contained in the contract.

After Completion — Whilst this may be frustrating you will simply need to hold the property and continue paying the mortgage and costs of holding the property.

7.16 What happens if my property goes up in value?

Before exchange — The Developer may choose to raise the price of the property, although this is rare. In which case you can proceed at the higher price or pull out and choose another property.

After Exchange and before Completion — You will still pay the price negotiated and that is detailed in the Contract. Depending on the terms of the contract you may also be able to sell or assign your interests in the property for a profit. YPC do not assist in the sale of properties.

After Completion — You may be able to go back to your existing lender or a different lender and borrow more money through a refinance or remortgage.

7.17 What happens if I miss a mortgage payment? This is very serious and may affect your ability to get credit in the future. Normally if you miss one payment the lender will not repossess the property but you should contact them or a financial professional as soon as possible.

7.18 What happens if I cannot pay my mortgage? This is very serious and will affect your ability to get credit in the future. You will need to contact a financial professional as soon as possible to discuss your options.

7.19 What happens if interest rates go up? Where you have a mortgage against the property and you do not have a Fixed Interest Rate mortgage then your mortgage payments will normally rise. You should allow for this before you commit to buying a property; ensuring you have a comfortable margin for interest rate increases.
